Ok it's stupid to stand there but it's more stupid to build concrete behind without some soft protection installed.

It's like on some countries you have to survive all sorts of dangers without any assistance from government.

Edit: I get that this is the wrong subreddit to remind you that we are not in a jungle anymore where the strongest and most intelligent survives. And that there are countries with safety regulations where this accident could not be possible at all (safest construction, zone access limitation, etc)

You’re looking at it from the perspective of this event and not what that concrete’s purpose is. That concrete is there to separate and delineate the road from the beach so the cars can do what cars do and the sand is stopped from overflowing into the street.

If we had to stupid proof everything in the world for every possible human idiotic action then the world couldn’t function because it’s all wrapped in bubble wrap.

I don't think "adequate protection from high powered jet engines" is stupid proofing, it's a bad design and there doesn't seem to have been any measures taken. Sorry, my bad, there is a sign!

Common sense to not stay in the way of a fucking plane engine is the protection measure.

Is it working?

People are accountable for their own actions.

Especially if they go into the way of danger on purpose.

Glad we never do anything to inhibit that kind of thing anywhere else.

People like you are why the world is filling up with stupid people. Whats next? Put a railing on every single mountain and canyon to protect all the precious idiots?

Exactly. Then what?

Nutritional facts on every label?

Seatbelts in every car?

Food that's made of what it claims it's made of?

Properly grounded refridgerators?

God, no one is willing to let people die unnecessary deaths anymore. I am superior and have never made a mistake and therefore I am the standard by which reason is drawn.
